Peregrine Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 HERE. Hope you've got a lot of extra money you don't want anymore, its $3,500. And even the student version is $600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveme4whoiam Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Hope you've got a lot of extra money you don't want anymore, its $3,500 $3500! Sweet Mother of the Lord! Even in real money (pounds stirling B) ) thats one hell of a lot of money for one program. Thats half a years wages for me (hands up who works at their local mcdonalds). Is it worth it though? I mean, unless you're really serious about pc modelling and want a career as one, thats a foolish amount of money to spend. Its alienating a large proportion of the online and modding community.

Peregrine Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Well, it is intended for professional graphics work, and to a large corporation, $3,500 is nothing. As far as being worth it, if you're serious about doing 3d stuff for a career, you're going to have to buy one of the major programs eventually. And all of them are pretty much the same price. Well, except Maya ($15,000!, thank whatever god may exist the Morrowind export plugin isn't for that!) They do have a free version called gmax, though from what I've seen its not very good. All the render functions are out, export options are very limited, etc. I just know I'm very thankful for student discounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveme4whoiam Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 *chokes on his own amazment at the price of Maya* $15000!!! Thats astronomical! About the gmx version though, i thought thats what everyoine on here used to make mesh changes and soforth (if its not, dont kill me: i'm not a modder, at least not on the editor side of things). If it is, then obviously people can use it to good effect, whatever the drawbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Some people might, but I doubt too many of them do. There is a way to convert to a useable format and export to .nif, but its complicated, buggy, and you need someone with 3dsmax to do it. I at least, use a combination of 3dsmax and autocad for my modeling. I imagine most people use 3dsmax or one of the free/cheap modeling programs and have a someone who does have it do the final export. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been trying to get my hands on 3D studio max forever, now know why I couldn't nobody has it, it cost too damn much! I must have this program!!!! I have the money, but damn no way i'm paying that. I can do 3D moldeling I've used other programs and I want to try my hand at 3D studio max. This is some kind of nightmare, I slap myself myself but I don't wake up. Kill me. Can you do that? Or just kill my dreams, next thing I know, you'll tell me that Arnold Swarzneger is the gov. of Califorina. :( :( :( :( :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 *Lines up Spamslayer's crosshairs on Acrid's head**Paints Acrid's head all over the wall* Happy now? Oh, and as for the governor thing, I'll be happy to tell you that Arnold Swarzneger is not the governor of California. But there is a guy named Arnold Schwarzenegger who thinks he's got that position! german_man: Gmax is HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
